The year is 1886. Trouble is brewing on the Crow Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana Territory. U.S. Marshal Chance Ridgeway sends his young deputy,
Merlin Fanshaw, to the town of Medicine Lodge to help restore order to the wild, remote settlement.
The assignment seems a simple one, but a powerful cattleman and his brutal son seek to maintain their stringent control over both the town and the area's
vast grazing lands. Deputy Fanshaw soon realizes the formidable duo will stop at nothing to archive their selfish aspirations.
Reviews:
-
"Marshal of Medicine Lodge is a particularly rewarding novel written by one of the finest Western novelists of our times. Stan Lynde's novels are laced with wry humor,
thoughts on the art of living and growing, toughness and tenderness, and the keenest understanding of human nature I've ever seen in fiction."
- Richard S. Wheeler, Winner of the 2001 Owen Wister Award
